Windshield Washer Fluid Not Coming Out? System Diagnosis

[@kimberlyannhughes7855]

I have to say that this is honestly one of the most thorough, easy to follow, well annunciated, helpful tutorial troubleshooting video I have ever seen for anything along these lines. I'd hug you if I could and gift you with home baked cookies. Honestly, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[@BavarianMachines]

Im both astonished and amazed at how much content was covered in this 1 video. I would usually have to watch at least 3 videos and piece the information together!😂 Thank you so much for posting this, extremely helpful for novices like myself! Absolute Legend!👍

[@rodeffercircus1132]

Thanks, that was super helpful! I'm glad to learn my fix was broken nozzles and that is something I can fix myself. Vids like these are vital to us low income folks to keep mobile!

[@gunsdonovan9183]

Not only low income rodeffer, modern cars are made so complex these days that there is a fear to tackle anything, but these videos give confidence.

Wow!! Just bought a used car and no fluid, this video is phenomenal!!! I now know how to diagnose the problem!! You Sir are AWESOME!!

[@ghostknightgaming603]

Hey, really nice video. I was concerned when I bought my first car and I didn’t get any window washer fluid. I tried to ignore it for as long as possible. Until I was driving one afternoon and the sun was going down. I took a turn and my whole windshield was covered in dirt I hadn’t ever noticed. It almost caused me to run off the road. My right front and back tires were completely off the road at one point. So I had to stop and wait for the sun to go down a bit. So thank you for the video, you may not know it but more that likely there’s been a few people in my same situation that watched this and going to fix it this way. So once again, thanks from me and everyone in my situation.

[@packrat9433]

Always carry windex and a roll of paper towels in your car. It also helps if your A/C id down and you are fogging. Clean the crap out of the inside of the windshield and the water has nothing to stick to.

[@intensecutn]

Mate, you have a really good tutorial voice. Seriously, you could do it professionally! *edit* After watching the video, you don't just have the voice for it, but you make a very well done tutorial. Very comprehensive and thorough, clear, direct, and easy to understand. Just a top notch no bullshit tutorial! Seriously after all the tutorials I have watched on KZbin for a huge range of topics, I think this has been the best I have ever watched. Bravo.

6:21 - for fluid flow related troubleshooting (pump is working)

[@ericdraven7857]

Yeah but it’s different for every car. My Honda Accord is nothing like this

[@SaraAlbright1]

As someone who has very little knowledge of car repairs, cars in general, I must say the way you described everything was extremely easy to follow and understand. I never leave reviews on random KZbin videos, in fact this is my first and only, but I must say thank you! Great video ! And you have a knack for explaining things! If you are not a teacher you should be!

[@mhn...]

For me that has almost no knowledge in mechanics, it was useful, thanks for sharing and taking the time to do the video :)!

[@peterbarr238]

This video is amazing however I would highly recommend anyone trying to fix their washer system to check the easiest things first. I followed the video chronologically and disassembled my whole bumper to get to the pump and realized it was working properly but wasn't receiving power. The issue was a fuse which I could have checked in 5 minutes instead of the hours I spent on the bumper.

[@MommaGrande]

Great job with your explanation and execution of the video. Very easy to understand and much appreciated

[@karllom9055]

This video just saved me money and headaches. Had already bought pump, turns out it was the fuse. By the end this video the pump was functioning as intended. Thanks!

[@gavinchalmers8973]

The way this video and the advice offered in it is delivered are excellent. No buzz words or jargon. Really easy to understand.

[@Alexz_Archivz]

Great tutorial. I realize you put a lot of editing & effort in your video, also w/o all the special effects and annoying music. Good job!

[@calebtwoodland]

This is a very well made video, seriously impressed. Definitely helps in troubleshooting my washer fluid issue.

[@vickiejackson4545]

I had my windshield replaced, and my wiper fluid didn't work after that. Even though the fluid hose wasn't in the same location as in your video, you helped me trace to where it came up-- and to where the other part of the hose where it was disconnected was located, leading to the sprayers! Thanks for this great trouble-shooting video!

[@amazonwarrior7126]

Thanks for your video, I have a focus 2007 so I have checked the fuse, cleaned the pump and replaced, but it was working anyway, but its cheap, to buy checked the nosels, so the only thing is to check the relay, so hopefully I find the right one, your videos are simple to understand, also no water was coming from under the bonnet to the spray nosels, so it could be the relay in the engine bay.

[@leslieh4899]

awesome video, thank you! I googled the price to have the front washer motor replaced and immediately called my son to see if he was available. Your video convinced me that it was not worth >$500 to replace it but instead ask my son to troubleshoot and repair instead.

[@TheWhitde]

Front one was stuffed... so pulled all out and found front motor needed replacing. Tested on my 12V supply. Ordered new and got for $11. Put in and didn't work. Checked fuses etc... then after watching this noticed I was pushing the wrong button. Now works. Prob saved $200+ by the time an auto electrician found the fault, charged $100 for the part and labor.

[@Quniverse]

What an unbelievably well made an in-depth guide!

[@davedeatherage4902]

Yes, this was very helpful to me!, it's the best explanation and remedies I've found on KZbin, I'm also a new sub as about a week or so ago. Thank you!!👍👍👍

[@donnagage1170]

If you're looking to fix your rear washer this video will not explain how to fix it. Only if it's the pump or front window washer. The video was great for that

[@nate4222]

No multi meter here. Just went for the pump replacement. Still no buzzing. Should have started with the fuses lol. Oh well. Thank you for the tutorial!!!

[@debwoods6011]

You are so awesome. Im an older lady that watched this and was able to fix my line. Plus i watch your video on how to get and electric window to go back up. The one where you find the right wire with a multi meter. I need a new switch but i got the window up until i can get the part. Thanks

[@WalkOverHotCoal]

Good video. Thank you very much. Your systematic diagnosis is applicable to just about all potential problems one could face in cars. I once found ants in the washer nozzle. They seek water and ended up in the washer bottle, and then got sucked into the lines.

[@gregv1717]

Found a blocked part in the fluid system. I'm soaking it now. If that doesn't work, I'll see if I can find that part. Thanks for the thorough video!

[@chester9115]

Hi there, this videos deserves 5 stars. This is what we call a detail explanations, they are so clear and perfect, love it 👍👍👍👍

[@SmokeumPeacepipe]

thank you for helping me. with the information in this video i discovered that nothing was wrong with my washer fluid system at all, other than there being one tube was disconnected. as simple a fix as there could be, but your video gave me the understanding to find it.

[@ryanfaze4541]

Almost had to pay 120$ for someone to look at the problem probably to find out that my pump was not working wow! Saved me lots thanks

[@armandmarkarian7705]

TY so much! Well Done - With your video I solved my problem in 5 min. It was a leaking tube at the juncture where it splits to 2 lines. There was enough slack to cut out 1.5" and reconnect - Perfect now!

[@timschmidt98g]

Exactly what I was looking for. Clear and concise. Thank you.

[@nathanmciver6737]

This has been an awesome informative video, I had my pump working yesturday and all of a sudden not today. I always find some things with maintenance very suspect with how they break when you notice the sequence of how some events unfold! Either way I progress and fix things with the help of straight forward people and helpful videos or on my own if times get cheap! Thanks for an informative video

[@Proudpapa50]

If your motor runs, fluid doesn’t come out, before you replace anything, check the filter from reservoir to pump. It may be clogged with gunk. This will also inhibit fluid from entering the pump. As a friendly reminder...Make sure your reservoir is empty before doing so or you will lose fluid quick

[@javierserranoyoutube]

I think this is the issue I have on my 2015 Ford Escape. The pump buzzes but no fluid neither on the front nor rear nozzles.

[@Proudpapa50]

@@MrDave1963 this was 3 years ago on my pilot. If I remember right, I emptied the reservoir and the filter was underneath. I followed the hose to the pump or you can follow the windshield hoses to the pump. I had a crack in the line and one of the nozzles was clogged.

[@The_Real_Indiana_Joe]

[@perryrose8843]

My Tundra would spray when the hood was open only. I didn't realize it and changed the pump. Again, it sprayed with the hood open but when I closed the hood it didn't spray. By accident I found the hose pinched by the hood bumper at the rear corner. Pulled the slack out of the hose and it works fine.

[@malekai777]

[@appletree8441]

My ex wife always told me to "seek professional help"

[@packrat9433]

Before replacing the switch, I would disconnect the hose directly at the pump, take cheap wire (like stereo wire) and go directly from battery to pump for 1/2 a second. if the pump fires and squirts, then you can figure it is the switch... To make it lower amperage and easier, I might use a 12V battery from a hand tool or deer feeder (for example).

[@xandrialayne]

thank you for this. so happy I could fix it myself

[@stanvav3277]

Nozzles can be also removed with 2 credit cards. With the hood closed, push from the front and the back of the nozzle. That is where the clips are. This is useful when there is no access. Like Toyota Sienna. Make sure not to lose the hose.

[@DennisMBrown]

Very descriptive, clear,easy to follow. Thanks.

[@farooqbhatti3696]

Thank you so much, very precise presentation, good and accurate words selection while speaking, If option of thumbs up available more than one, u deserve 5 tumbs up, again thank u so much.

[@RodrinBird]

Don’t overlook the hoses being clogged up too as old windshield fluid can become gunky. All my 3 nozzles were ok and so was the pump. My rear nozzle however wasn’t spraying and when I checked the hose, there was a long piece of rubber/gunk like material inside it.

Yo canadian fam , In winter bad washer fluid will freeze and your pump will NOT pump , but it can also be a frozen line , my pump was not pumping but I just had to spray hot water on my fluid line to de freeze and boom it worked , clean the whole line with winter fluid by holding your windshield wiper fluid for a couple of second

[@chegvra]

My problem is that the liquid is not coming out of the nozzles. The pump works, reservoir stays full of fluid, nothing moves out of the tank. I am guessing the screen in the reservoir tank must be clogged up. I took the hoses off the nozzles and no liquid comes out, so I imagine the clog must be lower, probably on that screen. I was really hoping I wouldn't have to disassemble the wheel well to get to the tank.
